Give Shadow The Hedgehog his CREDIT!

In this video I once again solidify my place as the best Sonic youtuber to grace the planet and talk about the coolest hedgehog from Sonic's franchise that being Shadow The Hedgehog and I go over how strong he is. Like I mention in the video he mostly has feats in his base form so that's what the main focus is but I do go over his other Canon forms

[@xRagingxDemonx]

Technically the Dark Form from Shadow the Hedgehog (the game) was expanded upon with his Chaos Boost in Sonic 06. It gave him the same type of powers and boosts to his base form. The whole problem with scaling Shadow in general is the fact that he's simply accessing more of his power with Chaos Boost or taking off his Inhibitor Rings. Taking off two during the Mephiles fight gave him the boost similarly to 2 chaos emeralds. Mephiles used the 2 emeralds to power himself up prior to making the clones. It's the reason why Mephiles has that transformation. So removing 2 inhibitor rings allowed him to be easily more powerful than 2 chaos emerald amp'd Mephiles, and he's taken all 4 of them off before. First time being when using Chaos Control alongside Sonic to destroy the Biolizard and push back the Ark. It was shown in the Anime, i don't remember if it was like that in the game. Second time was after knocking Sonic out of his Super Form with a gut punch. Also in the Anime. It seems to give him the same relative "power amp" allowing his body to use all of his power, but the amp itself seeming to be comparable to 6 chaos emeralds. 1.5 per inhibitor ring. As he isn't as powerful as a Super Transformation, but he's damn near close. So technically all the fights that happen between Sonic and Shadow since he always keeps his inhibitor rings on Shadow is more powerful than Sonic. The only argument left is does that even matter. As they're always tired after they fight and basically at a stalemate before either one retreats or gets the upper hand so would the boost in power mean anything since it also drains his power faster. It could be like the Trunks Vs Cell fight where Trunks was Stronger, but so much slower it didn't matter in fighting Cell because he couldn't land a hit. But shadow isn't, Slower, and he does become faster while taking off his rings. At the same time Sonic isn't stupid enough to let Shadow easily land a hit while he's amp'd so again would it even matter.

[@meowsquared]

Yeah it's more than likely that Shadow gains more raw stats than Sonic when he takes all his inhibitors off, but it wouldn't really matter in a fight between them because he also burns out super quickly while using them. Sonic would just fight defensively and outlast him, hence why Shadow tends to keep them on, even when they fight seriously. So Shadow at full power should scale above Sonic, but would lose anyways since he couldn't sustain that power long enough to close out a fight between them.

[@xRagingxDemonx]

@@meowsquared Right. That's what i'm saying, but now thinking about it there's a chance he can just outright win every time. Just take off only 1 inhibitor ring. No where near as draining given the fact he took two off and was seemingly fighting for a while and did majority if not all of the work. So just 1 ring off should be enough to just guarantee a win every time. Especially if say they both have 1 Emerald. Majority of his combat abilities wouldn't use nearly as much power since he'd draw it out of the Emerald instead.

[@meowsquared]

@@xRagingxDemonx Thing is: Sonic is kind've a wacky combatant because he's almost ALWAYS holding back to some degree. He only ever really seems to get serious when things are really dire, so it's hard to really gauge how much stronger than Shadow Sonic could be if he went all out right out the gate. Shadow probably still scales firmly above him with all inhibitor rings off, but we've seen a good example of how wacky Sonic's "serious" amp can get when he and Shadow both fought Emerl at the same time and got whooped, then Sonic fought a stronger Emerl and defeated him in 30 seconds. Sonic simply deciding to take a fight seriously is apparently enough of an amp to surpass him and shadow fighting together by several orders of magnitude (FOR SOME REASON). Shadow taking off only one ring would probably still be a huge amp, but Sonic would probably just try harder and match him again.

[@xRagingxDemonx]

​@@meowsquared Sonic caused Emerl to self destruct just like Goku did to Broly. An actual fight Emerl would have won if he wasn't overloaded. Just at peak. So at the same time that's just as how Sonic and Shadow were even in the Anime and Shadow was like "alright i'm done playing around" gut punched Sonic and he was completely out and de-transformed. Sonic speed blitzing Gizoid while Shadow could have just non-stopped teleported while also speed blitzing and using his chaos spears. You're virtually getting the same result. At this point we're just saying the same thing except the degree of Sonic's narrative seriousness vs Shadow fighting more strategically being only partially inhibited, and which has a higher ratio of winning.

I would argue that sonic shadow and silver in super form should scale to 6D(obviously not as much as solaris) since just existing within the same dimension of solarias's true body without getting deleted out of existance while also being able to launch attacks at it is honestly good enough for all vedio game characters that are not dante or vergil let alone sonic ones.

[@MrAppleSalad]

I think you should do a video on Sonic Prime's scaling, as it has some interesting implications. Shadow, in his base form, with no emeralds or special techniques, beats a Prism Energy amped Sonic quite handedly. This implies that Shadow is notably stronger then Sonic at this point, and there's also the fact that Shadow is able to push past the walls of dimensions using his own power at least to some degree. It's hard to quantify how powerful that is, but it clearly is him putting his full effort into it and you can physically see the barrier bend under his power. He doesn't break it, but the fact that he can even make it bend like that tells me he's strong as hell.

I hate how much they shelf the side cast of not just Sonic, but Naruto too. They give us all these cool side characters and gives us a small amount of time to actually start liking them then strip them away and don't do crap with them for a majority of the series. Although, I appreciate what direction the Sonic franchise is going.

[@Tucker_EgoDrone]

That's why I consider Sonic 06 as the best Sonic game in storytelling and character development. But Sega American for some reason doesn't want Shadow to have that kind of development from 06, yet Sega Japan prefers Shadow's character development from 06. While the game was disliked in America, in Japan it was praised.

In terms of Shadow's Inhibitor rings, he would beat Sonic if he took off at least the ones on his hands. Taking off all inhibitor rings could showcase the highest plausible feat Base Shadow could perform but in turn killing him. (He didn't die in SA2 because he was in super form and it's been shown that all seven chaos emeralds can revive someone like in 06.) Also, since this wasnt mentioned, when the three super hedgehogs fought Solaris. Shadow dealt with past Solaris, Sonic vs Present and Silver vs Future. I don't know how you can quantify Shadow being able to deal with the entirety of past Solaris as opposed to present, but it might put Super Shadow at least nigh-omnipresent. There's also a common misconception that when Shadow teleports like in the cutscenes he uses chaos control, though its actually Chaos Snap like in the Shadow the Hedgehog game. Chaos Control usually needs at least an emerald, and then two to go back to the past or future in time. There's also a theory that when everytime Sonic goes super, he becomes stronger even after reverting to base form (as shown in his eyes, classic super Sonic has green eyes in the old games, modern super Sonic having red like Shadow who is more genetically accustomed to chaos power.)

[@Spnozilla]

I think they were stalemating their early fights. Yeah Shadow had 6 of the emeralds when he was fighting that GUN Commander and Sonic so he had an obvious advantage there. I’d say Sonic wouldn’t be definitively winning fights until around the Rivals games or unleashed based on feats. Even then it be high difficulty.

3:39 lowkey scaling characters to the chaos emeralds is weird cus of the insane variety of power characters get with them. Like you have shadow saying hes the only one capable of using its true power, but thatd make him universal if you take Radiant emerald from Sonic R into account cus its said to be a universe inside an emerald on the website. plus the concept of the emeralds being able to turn thoughts into power means that their energy could be variable and change depending on the user.
